South Korea’s president said Thursday that South Korean companies will struggle to maintain direct investments in the United States if it fails to improve its visa system for Korean workers.
President Lee Jae Myung made the comments in a news conference while he spoke about the detention of more than 300 South Korean workers after the Sept. 4 immigration raid at a battery factory under construction at Hyundai’s sprawling auto plant in Georgia.
Lee said the Korean workers are set to be brought home on Friday aboard a charter plane.
